"The Secretary of Defense will come to see you in a moment." Not to mention what Tony Stark would think when he saw his old friend suddenly starting a war, Maria Hill's words before leaving for the Pentagon were enough.
It upset him, "As long as you agree to go to war and get all the Avengers to sign the Sokovia Accords, the White House will do what they are supposed to do. Don't miss this opportunity, Stark. This is yours
The only chance to unite all members of the Avengers."
Tony Stark doesn't feel confident that he can get all the Avengers to sign the "Sokovia Accords". He needs to slowly convince others to accept his idea. Especially Steve Rogers - even if
Thor is still on Earth, and the Asgardian prince can't offer any opinions. Tony Stark is most concerned about Steve Rogers - that is a man of high moral character, Steve Rogers is difficult
A soldier who agreed to live again and obey an order without thinking. He knew very well that Steve Rogers was opposed to all wars launched by the United States after World War II. And Stark had seen Steve Rogers more than once.
Bookshelf, Stark knew that the former Captain America had long since ceased to exist, and he needed to find a way to convince him to accept the agreement.
The incident happened suddenly, and he had to agree to the conditions of the Secretary of Defense and Congress without the knowledge of the other Avengers. Tony Stark did not think that he had any other way to go. However, the people who came to him
There was not only Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter, but also an old acquaintance with whom he did not get along very well, Thaddeus E. Ross.
The current Secretary of Defense, Ashton Carter, is a physicist who has a good relationship with Tony Stark. The Secretary of Defense advocates ensuring U.S. security and global leadership, as well as building a future-oriented force. Although in the final analysis
At the beginning, he tried every means to get Stark Industries to provide high-tech weapons to the US government. However, after long-term contact, Tony Stark thought he was a good person because the defense minister was quite supportive of his planetary defense plan.
.As for Thaddeus E. Ross, he has not been seen since Tony Stark convinced him to let Bruce Banner go. He only knows that General Thaddeus E. Ross has now entered politics
, and rose all the way to become the Deputy Secretary of Defense, and it seems likely that he will succeed Ashton Carter as the next Secretary of Defense.
"Sorry, it happened suddenly, but I believe you have a general understanding of the situation." Ashton Carter invited Tony Stark to sit down on the sofa, and then said straight to the point, "We need the Avengers. In
Before NATO launches large-scale military peacekeeping operations, it will help local NATO military bases stabilize the situation in the Balkans."
Tony Stark had mixed feelings in his heart.
He knew very well what Salomon's bottom line was, so it was completely impossible for him to inform the U.S. government of Salomon's identity. However, in the face of a decisive and powerful person, it is difficult for ordinary troops to be effective.
Not to mention that a man as powerful as Thor also has the power to project troops around the world. In this case, it is quite reasonable for the Pentagon to choose the Avengers, a team with strong individual combat capabilities, to assist the NATO army.
.
However, Tony Stark was not sure that other people could think so, and he had to use other means to solve the problem. "The total population of Latvinia is only half a million," he said, "and that was the Latvinian Civil War.
"
"No, this is World War III," Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said.
"World War III? This is too much!"
Ashton Carter and Thaddeus E. Ross looked at each other, and then General Ross spoke solemnly. "At least not at first. The White House also stated that it would pay close attention to human rights violations in Latvinia.
Action, but things are not that simple." He picked up the remote control on the table, ordered the motor to close the curtains and start the projector. Tony Stark saw several colorful satellite remote sensing images appearing on the projection screen, Ross
The general explained, "This is a picture captured by our reconnaissance satellite at the Hungarian border. According to expert estimates, it is most likely an intercontinental missile model we have never seen. When we wanted to conduct further reconnaissance, we found that all
All military reconnaissance satellites in Europe have lost contact... We suspect that this is not a civil war in Latvia, but a proxy war with the intervention of a major power. The other side has deployed experimental weapons and used the Balkan Peninsula as a testing ground. Now Latvia
Tovinia has a global nuclear strike capability. This may be a prelude to World War III, and the Ministry of Defense must treat it with caution."
"Not only that." Ashton Carter added, "The current Latvian army is led by the man in golden armor. They are very likely to send troops to neighboring countries. NATO's military mobilization is not that fast, and it is extremely likely that they will send troops to neighboring countries."
It is possible that the Latvians succeeded before we could react. We believe that the military coup in Sirkaria was closely related to the Latvians and that the CIA agents located there had lost their
Alliance, the last news we got about Latovinia is that the Silkarian Wild Chapter has the same high-tech individual equipment as the Latovinian resistance."
Tony Stark was speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He originally thought that Salomon's ability to transform the three SHIELD sky carriers into his own battle carrier was already very powerful. After all, that young man is only 21 years old now. But now he has mastered large-scale
Tony Stark would never have imagined that he would use destructive weapons and become involved in disputes between countries. After all, Salomon had told the Avengers early on that he would only make such a decision when faced with the genocide of the human race.
Interference. Either there is some unknown inside story in the war in Latovinia, or his ambition has blinded his reason and he wants to rule the world like the villains in the comics.
"Let me make a call." Tony Stark said with a cold face, "I'll be back soon."
"As soon as possible," Thaddeus E. Ross said meaningfully, "we need an American hero, no matter who it is."
Tony Stark left the room and walked to a location without camera surveillance. He had been here many times and naturally understood where politicians usually made secret deals with lobby group commissioners. "Fuck! Answer the phone, answer the phone!
He couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead with his suit sleeves, "Friday, dial the encrypted route again."
"All encrypted routes have been closed." Friday reminded with a pleasant female voice, "Sir, the other party's firewall is very powerful, and I think the other party has a very powerful artificial intelligence. If it is cracked, it will occupy the entire Stark Group.
Computing power.”
Tony Stark made an annoyed sound from his throat.
"Call Agent Romanoff." Stark knew that Natasha Romanoff was the person in the Avengers who had the closest connection with Salomon besides Thor. You must know that Salomon was not
What a good-tempered person. During the last earthquake on the east coast, the agents of the Immortal City arrested him and Steve Rogers without any explanation, and refused to explain the reason at all. Only Natasha Romanoff
Only agents who have mastered many secrets can participate in the mission of the Eternal City. Others seem to be unable to even smell the smell of secrets.
"Sorry, Agent Romanov's location cannot be located."
"Then who else can I contact?" Tony Stark asked angrily, "Isn't there anyone in the Avengers who can help?"
"Considering your position, I recommend that you contact Dr. Bruce Banner."
"That's him."
"Sorry, sir. The access control records show that Dr. Bruce Banner has left the Avengers base without any communication equipment."
